Legendary speed bowler Dale Steyn has declared that Stokes & Co. will win the series, which will also be the start of the WTC 2025–27 cycle for both teams. The series is quickly approaching. Steyn’s decision makes it abundantly evident that Shubman Gill’s India cannot prevail in the difficult circumstances of the United Kingdom. He predicted that there would be no draws in the series and that England would win 3-2.
Dale Steyn stated on JioHotstar that all five games would be extremely close and that no team would have a decisive victory.
The first Test in England’s five-match Test series against India will take place at Headingley in Leeds on June 20. With captain Ben Stokes guiding the way, the English team has a good amount of experience, but India has discovered a new captain in Shubman Gill, who will be leading the team in red-ball internationals for the first time in his career.
“Every match will be close. But everything will have an outcome. I predict that England will win 3-2. Every Test match will have a conclusion.
